Bio
Fergus Fox
Having worked with David for a number of years, his diligence and professionalism, his practical and stategic assessment of initiatives, and the manner in which he brings his expertise to bear makes him an invaluable asset to any organisation. His regulatory expertise across EMEA and in North America is considerable, but his ability to weave this into the strategic direction of a firm, and influence behaviours accordingly, is perhaps the key attribute in his considerable skillset.
Arnaud Quercy
I have been working with David for many years, and in different roles as our mutual careers were evolving within the firm. David is most certainly one of the best control and compliance officer I ever had the privilege working with. He has an in-depth knowledge of the market practices and regulations, coupled with an outstanding client service and business friendly mindset that makes him apart. Having David on board with the team to help looking after all kind of risks and legal challenges is definitely a blessing.
